Re: Pics of *delivered* V2s here

Ok, here's pics of the beast with the new D3 lowering springs. I've go to say I really like the stance of the car now. The ride quality has not been compromised as was the inital fear by many. After a number of test installs conducted with members cars, this product rocks.

Re: Pics of *delivered* V2s here

Wfo, how does your D3 lowered CTS-V handle sloped driveways? Does the front touch the ground when you exit a shopping center to city street?

I had a '01 BMW 740 with sport package that was factory lowered. It was fine. But I replaced it with a '08 Evo-X last year. I know I have to go on/off curb at an angle. But the front air dam hits the ground from time to time and I had to remove the front rubber stripe to increase ground clearance.

I have been eyeing CTS-V for awhile, as the Evo-X is a bit too noisy. If your lowered CTS-V is okay, then the regular CTS-V is probably okay too. Thanks for any comments.

I just picked up my 2010 Black V on Friday, then I had to go out of town that night. It was hard not being able to drive it. SOOOOO much fun. Anyone here following the owners manual 1500 mile breakin period?

Sloped driveway....is a no issue. I have such a driveway. Absolutley not a problem. Great ride, no complaints.

Re: Pics of *delivered* V2s here

OK! Picked up the V on Monday (Mar. 1) and we've been getting to know each other over the last few days. This is my 4th Caddy. (1st one was a '70 Fleetwood.)
I am simply in awe. This car is a freakin' emotional joy!!
GM must've been reading my mind when they cooked up this car... can't wait to really put my foot into it!

Here's mine... 3000 miles, and 1 new windshield. This is the first wax with Cherry Wet Wax (by far my favorite for dark colors).

Not sure if it is just my car, but it seems like it sits too high in the back. I see all other CTS's and V's with much less wheel well gap.
No complaints on this car... has all options except Recaro's and thankfully no rainsense wipers! Car averages 21mpg as well!
